“Almost nothing need be said when you have eyes,” wrote the poet Tarjei Vesaas. Eyes can be drawn in many ways, but if you are after realistic eyes you need to remember that eyes are made up of curves and circles. The pupil is the black dot, the iris is the larger circle, and the surface of the eye curves because the eyeball is in fact a slightly asymmetrical sphere.
